Whenever I try to install VMWare Workstation it just says to uninstall VMWare Player first.

Cept I don't have VMWare Player, and since it can't find the crap to uninstall it in the first place, I can't install Workstation.

Hi!

Cept I don't have VMWare Player, and since it can't find the crap to uninstall it in the first place, I can't install Workstation.

Can't you get a registry cleaning tool (on my Windows XP machine, I use CCleaner in such cases)?

I just saw the new trailer for the new "X-Com" game. It makes me very, very sad. They aren't even trying!

Hi!

Wasn't X-Com a simulation/strategy game with base building and turn-based combat?
Or was it a zombie alien FPS all along?

 I never played XCOM, and I feel insulted by that. And all they would need to do is change the name to make it alright.

That's just depressing.

As to my problem, already tried that, didn't work.

Yes, it was a base building and turn-based squad combat game. We knew the 'new x-com game' was going to be an FPS, but they didn't even try to use any of the aliens from X-Com! Or the ships...or, well, anything at all. It's literally a random FPS with aliens that they're trying to slap the X-Com name.

Such is the light of X-COM, that even a blind man can recognize a false prophet.  It's a pretty cool trailer.  Looks like a slick, intense game.  I'd very much like to play it.

But...  That is not X-COM.  I don't know how you could arrive at that game from that title.  Cool game maybe, but not X-COM.

Yeah, I'm playing Apoc right now, and it barely feels like an X-COM game.  It doesn't really have that "Oh shit it's Chrysalid's.  Oh shit this is a night mission, oh shit I'm doomed it's only the second turn and that was my favorite dude! NOOOOOOOOOOO" feeling that Enemy Unknown did.

Been there.

So maaany times lately.

Also, I love the trailer. They say 'STUDY THEM' at one point and you indeed study them - shooting them dead like during whole trailer *sigh*

Game will be in 95% looking like this. Last 5% will be adding/deleting people from roster at your base which you won't upgrade, cuz, hell! It's about shooting aliens, ya know!? Not messing with something non-important likes bases...

I saw that yesterday, it would be a pretty neat game if XCOM wasn't slapped on as a cash-in.

Worst part is when it comes out we're going to have people who don't know what the original X-COM games were.

Just like Fallout 3 and FF7+ fans..
